God is locked up

A prisoner of the mind

Made less than human

More than divine

God looks through the bars of the intellect

Treads on the shards of the wreck of humankind

And what does God find?

It is man who is the prisoner of the mind

... 

Love smoulders

And will not blow out

Though storms have raged

It's quiet now

And in the stillness 

Darkness fills

Spaces once inhabited
And light infuses

Every vanquished attempt 

To find God 

In humankind

Love is kindled

By the breath of every

Word of kindness

Every self-less thought

Every act of devoted-ness

And then life becomes a flame

...

Ah, blessed man-woman trinity
